PHOENIX, Oct. 23 — Senator Barack Obama, the Illinois Democrat who said Sunday that he was considering running for president in 2008, created a little sunlight on Monday between himself and both Bill and Hillary Rodham Clinton.You know the MSM really loves Obama when they try and get this stuff out early.Eat your heart out Republicans,you couldn't get this treatment from the New York Times ever.
For one thing, he said that as a youth he had inhaled.
“When I was a kid, I inhaled,” Mr. Obama said here to an audience of magazine editors. “That was the point.”
The direct admission was in contrast to Mr. Clinton’s denial in his 1992 campaign for president that he had smoked marijuana.
“I didn’t inhale,” Mr. Clinton said, cementing the idea that he liked to have things both ways.
Mr. Obama had written in his first book, “Dreams From My Father” (1995), before entering politics, that he had used marijuana and cocaine (“maybe a little blow”). He said he had not tried heroin because he did not like the pusher who was trying to sell it to him.
